Since we're on this subject: I was wondering whether anyone on the list 
has investigated if it's possible to use the C++ boost::shared_ptr<> or 
tr1::shared_ptr<> for that matter and OCaml's custom blocks to 
interoperate so that one can avoid having to do manual custom 
block/pointer management on the C/C++ side of things?

I've always found the manual custom block/pointer management to be one 
of the more annoying aspects of OCaml's FFI.

Cheers,
